The buttstock has a small monopod at the rear and has a hydraulic buffer to help reduce felt recoil. Its bullpup configuration allows it to have a shorter overall length whilst retaining a full-length barrel. Most of the weight is focused towards the rear of the weapon, mainly owing to the massive muzzle brake up front or the blast compensator if attached. While it does appear that the weapon feeds from in front of the pistol grip, the magazine well is actually positioned behind the pistol grip, making it a bullpup weapon; the cavity in front of the pistol grip is actually a magazine storage space.
